To Make Greater Use of the Intercampus
Church Vocations Association

Wuereas, Students in the colleges and seminaries of
The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod have organized
themselves into campus groups and an intercampus
Church Vocations Association so that they can more
effectively promote full-time church vocations among
their fellow young Lutherans; and

Wuereas, Organized recruitment work done by stu-
dents presently preparing for church vocations can be
a valuable supplement to the present recruitment efforts
of the church; and

Wueneas, The student campus organizations and the
intercampus Church Vocations Association are properly
supervised by recruitment officials of the colleges and
of the Board for Higher Education; therefore be it

Resolved, That The Lutheran Church — Missouri
Synod make greater use of this service of its students
and that it offer as much encouragement and support
as possible.

To Change “Handbook” Regulation
Concerning the Appointment of Lay
Members of Faculties to Rank

of Associate Professor or Professor

Wuereas, Such positions offer ideal opportunities for
laymen to carry out their ministry in the church; and

Wuersas, Such positions can now be filled by laymen
at the level of instructors and assistant professors; and

Wuereas, It may be desirable to give such laymen
tenure and salary commensurate with their experience
and ability, the following addition to the Handbook,
6.105 a is offered for adoption:

In the case of lay members of congregations affiliated
with the Synod, and who have served on the faculty of
one or more synodical schools for a period of approxi-
mately eight years, the board of control may make ex-
ceptions to the policy stated above upon the recommen-
dation of the president of the institution, with the prior
consent of the Board for Higher Education and with the
concurrence of the President of the Synod and the Presi-
dent of the synodical District in which the school is
located.

To Appoint a Subcommittee on Dual
Enrollment, etc.

Wuereas, The Lord of the church has commanded
the church to teach and to “feed My lambs,” in obe-
dience to which The Lutheran Church — Missouri
Synod has throughout its history encouraged the use
of many different agencies, including the home, Sunday
school, Christian day school, weekday school, and
Saturday school; and

Wuereas, From one fourth to one third of the chil-
dren of the Synod are enrolled in Christian day schools,
and the likelihood of enrolling a majority of the church’s
children in such schools is very remote; and

Wuereas, Shared time, or, as the proposal is now
called, dual enrollment, which calls for cooperative
arrangements between church schools and the public
schools, is a creative device for the provision of Chris-
tian education to be encouraged especially in those
areas where full-time Christian day schools are not
feasible; and

Wuereas, Federal, state, and local governments are
now busy considering a variety of legislative and ad-
ministrative plans which reexamine the relation of
public and church-related education on the elementary
and secondary level, and it is of great importance that
we should participate in such planning from the very
outset; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Synod authorize and instruct the
Board of Parish Education —

1) to appoint a subcommittee on dual enrollment,
whose duties shall be —

a) to remain in constant touch with government
and educational boards and officers and to par-
ticipate in discussions and hearings through
which the whole program of dual enrollment
finally reaches the practicable level;

b) to set up policies and guidelines for local con-
gregations or groups of congregations who
desire to inaugurate dual enrollment;

2) to call a staff person to work with District Boards
for Parish Education and with local congregations
or groups of congregations in inaugurating dual
enrollment programs.
